We need to repackage our strategy on how we deal with plastic waste, because we cannot afford to wait until landfills are performing poorly to say that these problems are affecting our property -be. We need to change our ethical stance by thinking long term about what our actions do in order to stop practicing techniques that are only tedious for a short time because they can lead to major consequences. For example, if we maintain the current status quo, we will eventually run out of space for plastic, both in recycling facilities and in landfills. So the landfill will become saturated with toxins and we will continue to release chemicals into the atmosphere, causing harm. to the biosphere. And we certainly can't always create new landfills every time we reach maximum storage, if we do we will run out of space on earth and probably return to the ocean to dump our waste. In fact, the ocean already has a pool of trash larger than the state of Texas floating in the Pacific Ocean, namely gyres. So instead of producing plastic, which can only be recycled a few times, which harms the biosphere and leads to toxic saturation, we can produce fully recyclable materials over and over again so nothing is wasted..
